You know, success is a wide animal that needs to be properly tamed in order for it not to hurt us and give our lives another meaning different from our vision.
The road that leads to the fulfillment of destiny is not always smooth. There are many thorns, hills, and the storm that we might likely come across in that journey of destiny.
When we focus on our vision, we will be less concern about the challenges on the road because we will rest assured that after everything there is a victory that is ahead of the struggle.
If a woman keeps thinking of the challenges and stress that accompany the process of pregnancy, labor, and delivery, she might not want to get pregnant but when she thinks of the joy of being a mother, she will be strengthened and won’t be weighed down during the process.
We cannot even imagine how Jesus suffered and yet He refuses to miss the fulfillment of His purpose.
Sometimes we have our mind made up to do something, but once things turn bad, we change our mind. I can tell you ahead of time that if you intend to pursue any good thing in life, there will be times when you won't be comfortable. Satan hates true success. He hates seeing people fulfilling their purpose.
He is always out there to fight those that are on the right track to the fulfillment of destiny. He will fight those who set themselves aside to succeed. His weapons of choice include lies and deceptions, rejection from family and friends, discouragement, fear, being alone, sickness and so on.
But we have weapons as well as armor, which God has given us. We must fight tirelessly in order to attack the weapons of Satan that he has set to wrestle with our destiny.
We must lift up the shield of Faith against all fiery darts of the devil.
No matter what happens, keep trusting God. He is ever faithful to see us through all forms of challenges in the path to success.
When the stretching for success hurts, keep your eyes on God, never lost your focus on your vision, never listen to what is happening around you, keep your hope alive and keep living a lifestyle of gratitude. I see you scaling higher and breakthrough the stretch in your success journey.
